    look like i got some old printing plates, i e-mailed Antique Archaeology asking them if they knew any thing about them, and they told me to come here, any way i volenteer at Restore habitat for humanity.
    And we got a donation of a bunch of thees plates. my boss was gunna scrap them, but i got a hold of them thinking they might be worth somthing. thees are the only 2 that are car related so that why i chose them. the on on the left is from American Motors and Rambler, the one on the right i'm not too sure about.

      They are very nice! I really love the ones on the right plate. Sorry, I don't have any info, hopefully there's someone else here who can help you learn a bit more.

      If you hold them in front of mirror you can see who made them and what they say . I have some and that is how I tell the words . It looks like one is for sure marked on bottom by maker . Very nice !
